As more councils around Australia are ensuring that bicycle parking is provided as part of the condition of DAs we understand that dealing with a whole new area of guidelines and standards can be frustrating, especially when deadlines are tight.

As leaders in the field we can:

tell you what will work for you development when it comes to bicycle culture and bike parking

meet with you on site, assess your needs and provide you with the best style of rack, security and spacing to meet your particular needs

provide technical drawings for concept visualisation and the approval process

develop a staged plan to manage your bicycle parking development to meet present and future needs

we offer a design consultancy service where we visit your site, assess your needs and provide you with technical drawings clearly showing the best style of rack, security and spacing to meet your particular needs.

We can help you:

identify the best place to locate your bike storage system

develop a bicycle parking facility that will be used by cyclists

comply with Australian standards

achieve functionality, longevity and aesthetics in your bike parking

if the products, spacing, security and location you choose aren't right then your system won't be used to its potential.

Why is it important to provide a dedicated space?

Need some help convincing your strata management committee that your block needs bike parking? Here are a few tips that could make all the difference.

As more people use bicycles for transport and recreation (bikes consistently outsell cars in Australia) there is increasing bike clutter. Work, Health & Safety Issues If there is no well designed, dedicated space for bike storage then cyclists will secure their bikes in areas: - that will potentially damage or obstruct cars - like stairwells, outside fire escape doors, along entrances, in hallways and against railings and posts in the building and in the vicinity of the building.

the fallout

Poor bike parking creates hazards for other building users by blocking access, creating trip hazards and putting pressure on hallways and lifts as cyclists take their bicycles into their apartments.

Building interiors can be damaged by wear and tear

Increased pressure on cleaners especially in wet weather

Bike Security Issues: Bikes are an investment and can be worth thousands of dollars – sometimes more than a car.

Cyclists do not want to park their bike anywhere where it may be stolen.

Cyclists will park their bike where they feel it is safest and in the most convenient spot. This is not always the safest from a Work, Health & Safety point of view. Providing a well designed, Australian Standards compliant facility Design is critical to the success of a bike storage facility.

Keys to bike parking success

Key issues like location of the facility, visibility from passing traffic and protection from weather are key. Correct rack placement and spacing of racks also ensure success. There are Australian standards and guidelines covering bicycle parking. If your facility is put in the wrong spot, provides inadequate spacing and poor racks cyclists will avoid it and park somewhere else and you’ll waste money.

A supplier and installer who follows Australian Standards like www.bikestorage.com.au will have the utility of your facility at the forefront of the design and installation process and your facility will be used.

What to look out for:

Racks on the market which do not comply with Australian standards.

These racks will be avoided by cyclists who do not want to damage their bicycles.

Examples of such racks include: Racks which hold bikes by their inserted wheels only (toaster rack); racks which only support the bike in one spot; racks which damage bicycles by the way they support them.

Multiple bike parking racks which claim to park multiple bicycles but don’t give enough spacing to actually park multiple bikes. What often happens in this case is that users opt to use every second rack and money is wasted.

Racks which are installed too closely together creating handlebar clash and pedal pester

Racks installed without security fasteners

A supplier who wants to sell you as many racks as possible at the expense of usability

Racks that aren’t intuitive ie. nobody has a clue what they are (is that a bicycle rack?) or understands how to use them
